Casa Milà is the last private residence designed by Gaudí. It is most famous for the balcony on the building's roof, which has 30 uniquely shaped chimneys that resemble masked soldiers or even aliens.
The inspiration for Casa Batlló comes from the story of a brave knight who defeats an evil dragon and rescues a princess. Therefore, the design of the entire house has its own meaning: the cross-shaped chimneys represent the hero, the scaly arched roof is the dragon's spine, and the stained glass and uniquely designed balconies are the masks.
Sagrada Familia
Sagrada Familia is known as the 'most impressive unfinished building' in history. This structure, which has been under construction for 135 years, is the life's work of Gaudí. The overall design is inspired by nature, such as caves, mountains, plants, and animals, and it completely lacks straight lines and flat surfaces. Instead, it is composed of spirals, cones, hyperbolas, and parabolas, creating a building full of rhythm.
Park Güell
Gaudí worked and lived in Park Güell for 20 years, from 1906 to 1926. Although he only completed public facilities such as the gatehouse and the central park, his naturalistic ideas were fully showcased. The two candy houses, mosaic-tiled benches, and the large lizard sculpture inside have all become artistic treasures.
Palau Güell is a work that established Gaudí's status as a great creator of atmospheric spaces. The building is located next to the bustling La Rambla in Barcelona and was commissioned by the Spanish merchant Eusebi Güell. This building was purchased by the Barcelona Senate in 1944 and is now a theater museum of the city of Barcelona.
Gaudí House Museum
Located on one side of Park Güell, the Gaudí House Museum is his former residence, designed and built by himself. The museum opened to the public in 1963 and houses furniture and other items designed by Gaudí.
